2000 years x 360 days (in a Hebrew Year) = 720,000 days
720,000 days / 364.2425 solar-year days* = 1971.29 solar years
*365.2425 days is the same as our modern Gregorian calendar.
If Christ was born around 4 B.C. then it would have been around 30 A.D. when
he died at on the cross and rose from the grave at the age of 33.
Note: (30 A.D., not 29 A.D. because there was no such thing as Year Zero)
So, 2 days or 2000 years from Christ's resurrection and ascension would be approximately 1971.29 + 30 = 2001
Now don't misunderstand me, this is not a date-setting false prophecy, its just an illustration using scripture and simple math to point out why I believe Jesus is coming back VERY SOON. Obviously I am not saying that Jesus was to come in 2001 (which has come and gone) but it could be anytime now, the Lord will not tarry.

Hosea 6:1-2
Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us;
he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive
us; on the third day he will restore
us, that we may live in his presence.
2 Peter 3:8
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a
day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The
Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is
patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Its interesting to note that Rosh Hashanah or the Jewish New Year is in September. We all know what happened in September 2001. Remember Y2K? Remember how many people mistakingly believed that the year 2000 was the begining of the new millenium when in fact it is the year 2001? Is it too much for coincidence that the math outlined above coincides with the awful events of September 11th 2001? When I think about the photos of Satan's face appearing in the cloud of smoke emanating from the Twin Towers it doesn't seem so surprising.
